Photography has been described as a practice of selection. What to put in the frame and what not to put in the frame. It seems to me that with Fritz, image capture is more or less random and that...
Fair enough, I was trying to spur discussion with this mock battle concept which I must confess is a concept that I did not originate. (here is one about legs ) I suppose I should be more literal...
The point is not a "contest". Clearly there is no "winner". The point is to spark discussion about photography. Here my intent was to examine hyperbole as a photographic device using these two...
Neither of these photographs are mine, so I am not sure how you interpret this as me wanting to compete. They are both dead so I am not clear on how it would matter to them. And I am not suggesting...
The film plain definitely seems tilted forward, but you also have to consider that this is an entire constructed set for the only purpose of making this photograph. Operating the camera was probably...
Frank says they are apples and oranges and Merg says they are the same, nothing to compare. Hummm, interesting.... I probably have more in common with Franks point of view. Their esthetics are...
Adams and WTF are tied! How sad.
Hyperbole Super Bowl: Wynn Bullock versus Ansel Adams

Wynn...
I vote Wall.....
Wall's work has this unresolved tension that hangs with me after viewing. Knowing that these are staged versus found stituations, there seem to be many odd choices made and I...
Here is a series I have been working on. There are quite a few trees included.
Domesticated
Thanks for your enlightening contribution. Why did you even bother? WTF, indeed.
I've seen this kind of "contest" on some popular photo blogs. I thought I would see if it would spark some interesting conversation here. Fingers crossed....
Theatrical Tableaux, Jeff Wall versus Gregory Crewdson
And the winner is......(you decide:)

Thank you George, you made my day.
The public radio show "Philosophy Talk" had a show that covered Postmoderism. As you might expect, they defined and discussed Moderism in relation. There is no mention of photography but is...
Difficult choice, but if I survey all my books and had to only choose one, it would be American Prospects, Joel Sternfeld. Steild knows how to make a book. Soth's Niagra was close second, also...
I would recommend a book entitled "Crisis of the Real" by Andy Grundburg. Andy is a former photography critic for the New York Times. The book discusses photographic modernism at great length, but...

Dominic Rouse came to mind. Although his work is probably more related to painting than "traditional" photography. His does use a large format camera and the darkroom.

I was considering traditional versus non-traditional in the context of this forum, which in my experience, the usual images posted here are of the idealized, natural, modernist, reductionist,...
I image with the big red arrow is not a finished image. It has a multitude of technical issues that would need taking care of. It was simply for illustration purposes.
I idea that using a LF camera is the only way one can have standards is ridiculous. I have and I use a 4x5. The tool I choose does not change my approach to image making. If I had been using my...
Joanna is right.
This series is available to download from multiple very public places and based on this I made the assumption that the content was unencumbered. I should not have assumed this,...
Pray tell, which "standard" am I corrupting by posting these images?
I agree, but using similar arguments all proposed non-traditional photography could be rooted in some tradition. No man is an island....
Considering the context of this forum, what/who's...
Since the BBC is a government run monopoly, it does release many of its shows as freely distributable downloads. The Brits pay a specific tax to cover the BBC thus their content is treaded more...
The primary differentiating characteristic of "large format" is its unique descriptive capabilities. It's ability to capture/describe a subject with the utmost detail. All other characteristics are...
dog·ma - a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds
traditional or non-traditional?

blas·phe·my - impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.
"God or sacred things", hummmmm
Another "non-traditional" and perhaps controversial stitched photograph....

Exactly.[/QUOTE]
Again, you can ping QT on it, but it's my understanding that stitching is allowed.
Another color "non-traditional" photograph....
1DsII, 45mm, 2x4 stitch, 9640x8811

I agree with Jan and Jim.
so what if you can stitch a gazzillion mega mixels -- it still isn't large format. It is just a big electronic file.[/QUOTE]
You can ping QT on it, but as I understand...
Jim,
The title of the thread is "Non traditional photographs", given the context of this forum and the images that are typically posted, I consider those two images non-traditional. If you see...
